These
conversions are for use in the kitchen, not in the laboratory! If
precise conversions are needed please use the tables accessed from
the jump menu. The measurements given here are
based on Imperial / UK units. Standard USA units are slightly different
- see the main conversion tables.

We
have tried to be accurate with the above table but cannot be held responsible
for inaccuracies.
Go back to first principals and double check your calculations if the
result is 'mission critical'.

Remember that
you cannot create energy only convert it. Likewise, you will not find
a conversion from pounds to metres - the basic units must remain the
same - mass converted to mass, length converted to length, et al.

You won't usually find a conversion from kilograms to grams - the prefix
'kilo' means '1,000' so a kilogram
is in fact 1,000 grams in the same way as a kilometer
is 1,000 metres [or about 1,000 yards in 'old money']. I have put a
few in the table because visitors have asked for them. Note that milli
means a thousandth not a millionth so there are 1000 millilitres
in a litre. More prefixes can be found on another
table.

One handy metric link between units to remember is that 1 Litre [1000cc]
of pure water weighs 1 kilogram (kg).
